CSS - Alink, Visited, Active, In #footer

hey everyone, need your help here.

i have a run-of-the-mill FAQs page with questions at the top anchored (# links) to various text answer sections at the bottom.

i have the following for links in my external css page:

a:link {
color: #4480D5;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1.6em;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
color: #FF9B21;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color: #FFC51B;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:active {
color: #4480d5;
}

it seems once i click a #link once, IE, in it's infinite stupidity, sees that this page has been visited, hence ALL my #links show up as visited.

anyway I can get around this?

if this is covered elsewhere, please point me to it

thanks!

Thanks for reading my question.

Why do my a:link, a:visited, a:hover, and a:active commands work for IE but not in FireFox?

The hover works in both, but the visited only works in IE.

I don't have a url for this page yet, so I've put it under my band web page.

Try it with IE and you'll see that the visited works. Try it with FireFox and the visited doesn't work.

Thanks again,

Good Morning! First off I am not a professional, not even close. I have been teaching myself html & css on and off for the past 6 months. Ok so here is my issue:

I have a CSS rule:

a:link, a:visited {
display:block;
font-weight:bold;
color:#000;
background-color:#FFF;
width:200px;
text-align:left;
padding:10px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;

}

The above rule is used on my side nav bar. My issue is now every <a href"etc.." </a> i place on my main page inherits all the above attributes. How can eliminate all the parent stuff. Ive been trying to get this working for the past 2 hours and my brain is fried.!

Thanks for all your help!

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I have links on my page that when visited, change color. Simple enough. I also have in my css a hover line that says change the color to white. This works on the unvisited links, but not the visited ones. Why?

Here is my css.

@charset "iso-8859-1";
.text {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #ffffff
}
.textCopy {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #CCCCCC;
hover: #ffffff
}
.textbigger {

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #CCCCCC;
hover: #ffffff
}
a:hover {
color: #ffffff;
}
a:link {
color: #999999;
}

a:visited {
color: #747474;
}

a:active {
color: #CCCCCC;
}

body {
margin-top: 0;
background-color: #000000;

}

You can see this at work at www.pierced.ca

Having two problems, kind of related to browsers.
1) Most of the time, the site loads better under Firefox. For some reason, Firefox won't implement the text-decoration:none attribute. Any ideas?

2) Also, the on hover flip filter doesn't seem to be working in IE, which i was told was the only browser that would work in? I think I used bad syntax, but can't find it. Help would be appreciated!

edit--i used the html validation and the css one, the html said I cant use the xspace and vspace in this iframe:

<iframe class="fade" style="position:absolute; top:125; left:200;"
src="blog.html" width="400" height="400" frameborder="0" align="left" xspace="3" vspace="3"></iframe>

this is the only i frame I use, and was something I got off a frames tutorial... guess i didn't learn it well enough?
was a ton more wrong with the css, but it wasn't like the html validator and telling me where i went wrong.

here is the full css file:

.fade{filter:alpha(opacity=70); -moz-opacity:0.7; background:#ffffff;}

font, td{color:#0000FF; font-size:medium; font-family:sans-serif; font:"Comic Sans MS",Tahoma;}

a,a:link,a:visited,a:hover,a:active { font-size:medium; font-weight:bold; font-family:sans-serif; font:"Comic Sans MS",Tahoma; text-decoration:none; }
.link1 a:link { color:#0000FF; }
.link1 a:visited { color:#0000FF; }
.link1 a:hover { color:#0000FF; filter:flipv; }
.link1 a:active { color:#0000FF; }

.link2 a:link { color:#0000F5; }
.link2 a:visited { color:#0000F5; }
.link2 a:hover { color:#0000F5; filter:flipv; }
.link2 a:active { color:#0000F5; }

could someone please help me figure out what I did to my fonts, and where the links are preventing the underline decoration from being disabled?

Hi,
i have 2 links with email and website. After visited these two links, both should appear yellow (a:visited).

Well, with the IE everything functions marvelously, but with the Netscape only one link (website) functioned, but email does not activate itself yellow after the attendance.

Here is the Code:

Code:

style type="text/css">
<!--
a:link {color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; text-decoration:none; }
a:visited {color: #ffff00; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {color: #ffcc33; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; text-decoration:none;}

p {
	font-family: Verdana;
	font-size: 12px;
    	color: #ccffff;
}

body {
	background-color: #9095af;
}
.style1 {color: #ccffff; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; }
.style2 {color: #ccffff; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 20px; }
.style3 {color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; }
.style4 {color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; }
-->
</style>

if($email) {
$eintrag= "<tr><td><span class='style3'>$text</span></td></tr>";
$eintrag.="<tr><td><a href='mailto:$email'>$email</a>,   <span class='style4'>$datum</span></td></tr>";
$eintrag.="<tr><td><hr></td></tr>\n";
}

if($website) {
$eintrag= "<tr><td><span class='style3'>$text</span></td></tr>";
$eintrag.="<tr><td><a href='$website'>$website</a>,   <span class='style4'>$datum</span></td></tr>";
$eintrag.="<tr><td><hr></td></tr>\n";
}

What's the problem here???

Greetings

Is there a way to tell the browser not to change the color of a visited link? I have an anchor around some text, but I don't know the color setting of the text. When I visit the link, I just want the text to retain its color based on the other CSS declarations in effect for the text.

So, is there a way to specify a:visited { color: do-not-change; }?

I have been having a problem with my CSS.
I want to make my visited links just a big bigger than my unvisited links so that the users can know where they been


Code:

#mainCategories a:link{
	font-size:.55em;
}
#mainCategories a:visited{
	font-size:.65em;
}
#mainCategories a:hover{
	font-size:.65em;
}
#mainCategories a:active{
	font-size:.65em;
}

it changes size on a:hover but not on a:visited

Hi. Pleeease help!

I've created a CSS for a CMS but I'm having a problem with text color.

I wanted the links to change from black to white text when hovered over. I seem to have achived this . . . until they have been clicked, and then that function is disabled and they just stay black all the time.

I tried deleting cookies and temp internet folders. I tried using the :visited option in the CSS and putting color white in it and that didn't work.

Can anyone help?

I have my links, and a:hover does not activate when the link has been visited. Is there any special for a hover visted link or any way to fix this?

Whew, it's been a while sin'ce i've been here. Thanks in advance!

I am using an external CSS where I am defining the color of my links when un-visited, visited etc.
The problem is in Netscape 7.1/7.2
those links which are calling my other pages, are being shown up as visited when clicked,.

But those where I say href='javascript:void(0);my js function'

are not being shown with the correct 'visited' link color. They are being shown in the color specified for 'un-visited' links!!

Can someone help??

Hi,

I'm looking for some help with CSS, specifically "a:visitied".

I want the hover over behaviour to remain the same on html links regardless of whether or not they're already in your history.

Is there a way i can do this?

Many Thanks.

my layout is pretty simple...

Code:

<div class="container">
 	<div class="topbar">
 	<div class="list">
 		<div class="gametitle"></div>
 		<div class="percentage"></div>
 		<div class="system"></div>
 	</div>
 </div>

i have the following CSS applied to gametitle, percentage and system... for somereason, gametitle doesnt work...

Code:

.gametitle {
 float:left;
 width:250px;
 color:#FFF;
 }
 .gametitle a:link,
 .gametitle a:visted,
 .gametitle a:hover {color:#FFF;}
 .percentage {
 float:left;
 color:#FFF;
 }
 .percentage a:link,
 .percentage a:visited,
 .percentage a:hover {color:#FFF;}
 .system {
 float:right;
 color:#FFF;
 }
 .system a:link,
 .system a:visited,
 .system a:hover {color:#FFF;}

here is the page where all this code is going down...

That title is probably a little confusing but it is what's happening.

I have an inline list (<li>) that will shift to the right when I hover over links that have been visited. The links that have never been visited do not cause this problem. It's very strange and I'm not sure what's up.

The page...

http://www.vaska.com/a/

The css...

http://www.vaska.com/a/css/c.css

To get the menu to appear, hover over the "menu/options" and it will appear. I know for a fact that these issues are not becaused by the javascript in this file...somehow it's a CSS issue.

I'm having the problem in Safari and Firefox...I'm not sure about IE/PC and such, but I'm betting the problem is there as well.

Thanks for any help...v

Good day,

I am a newbie, both to CSS and to these forums.

I recently undertook a job to update a website for a charity and am dealing with the previous webmasters coding, both html and css. I am trying to modernize the site a bit, it is very 1997.

I am running into a bit of trouble with the hover class on one of my pages. When a link has been visited, it no longer changes color and highlights on hover. I read on multiple forums, this one included that it is because you must define hover last, after visited, active, etc. I did this, but still does not work. I am using Firefox 2.

Here is the code I am working with, sorry that is is a bit lengthy, I don't know what parts are important or not because when I just change the hover, link, visted part it doesn't work.

The page I am working with is at beverlyfoundation . org / library / index . html
